Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Be You is operated by Edukas Solutions LLC (“Edukas Solutions,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Delaware-registered software company with operations in West Hollywood, California.

This policy applies specifically to Be You. The broader Edukas Solutions Privacy Policy applies to the company website and other products.

2. Information Be You processes

Guest and legal acceptance cookies

We set a random guest identifier in a secure, HTTP-only cookie so the server can return your private runs to the same browser. We also set a signed, HTTP-only cookie recording the date and version of the EULA and Privacy Policy you accepted. The guest cookie lasts up to 180 days; the legal acceptance cookie lasts up to one year or until the legal version changes.

Gameplay and sharing data

We process the seed, choices, consequences, game state, ending, timestamps, and technical identifiers needed to operate a run. Completing a life creates a random public result identifier and a signed result. Anyone with that public result or challenge link may view the fictional result and comparison information included in it. Be You does not provide a free-text field for personal content.

Information stored on your device

Your browser stores the current run cache, discovered legacies, mastery and pursuit progress, accessibility and audio preferences, your analytics choice, and a rolling local event history. A service worker may cache public application files and media so the interface loads reliably.

Optional usage analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (“GA4”) to count visits and understand aggregate gameplay milestones. Analytics storage is denied by default. The GA4 script is offered only to visitors whose approximate country is the United States, based on a country header supplied by Vercel, and loads only after the visitor chooses “Allow analytics.” We do not store the country lookup for analytics.

If you consent, GA4 may process page location and title, gameplay event names, general device class, acquisition source, and bounded game-content identifiers or counts. We do not send gameplay prose, private or public run identifiers, guest or account identifiers, email addresses, phone numbers, display names, or handles. We disable advertising storage, advertising personalization, and Google Signals in the application configuration.

Hosting and request information

Vercel hosts Be You and may process ordinary request information such as IP address, user agent, requested URL, time, region, response status, and security or diagnostic logs. We may review limited logs to secure, troubleshoot, and operate the service.

Information we do not currently request

Be You does not currently ask for an account, real name, email address, phone number, payment information, precise location, contacts, photos, microphone access, or social sign-in. If that changes, we will update this policy and request any consent required by law before the new processing begins.

3. How we use information

• Start, save, resume, complete, and compare fictional lives.
• Remember settings, archives, and legal acceptance.
• Create public result cards and challenge links you request.
• Protect the service, prevent abuse, and diagnose failures.
• With consent, understand aggregate visits, funnels, and product behavior through GA4.
• Meet legal obligations and enforce the EULA.

We do not sell personal information, build advertising profiles, or use Be You gameplay for cross-context behavioral advertising.

4. When information is shared

We use Vercel to host and deliver the application, Neon to store server-side gameplay records, and, only after eligible visitors opt in, Google Analytics 4 for aggregate analytics. These providers process information under their own terms and privacy practices. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect users or the service, or as part of a corporate transaction subject to appropriate safeguards.

Public result and challenge pages are shared at your direction. Do not publish a result URL if you do not want other people with that URL to view the included gameplay outcome.

5. Storage, security, and retention

Be You uses TLS in transit, HTTP-only cookies for server identifiers, signed public results, and access checks that bind private runs to a guest browser. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Device-local data remains until you clear it, use the in-app data deletion control, or remove the site’s browser data. Server-side guest runs and results remain until deleted through the in-app control or removed under our operational retention practices. Analytics data and provider security or diagnostic logs follow the applicable provider settings and our operational needs.

Our infrastructure is operated in the United States. If you use Be You elsewhere, information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, subject to applicable safeguards.

6. Your choices and rights

The Experience Settings panel includes a control to erase Be You data stored in the browser and server data associated with the current guest cookie. You can also clear site data through your browser. Clearing the legal acceptance cookie means you must accept the current terms again before playing.

Eligible visitors can select “Analytics choices” in the site footer to allow, refuse, or later withdraw GA4 consent. Withdrawing consent stops future analytics events and removes GA cookies accessible to Be You from the current browser.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. California residents may also have rights to know, correct, and delete personal information and to opt out of sale or sharing; we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. Send requests to info@edukassolutions.com. We may need to verify the requesting browser or identity.

7. Children

Be You is not directed to children under 13, or under 16 in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction where 16 is the applicable minimum. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below the applicable age. Contact us if you believe a child has provided information so we can review and delete it.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the product changes. We will revise the date and legal version, and material updates will require acknowledgement before the next life begins.
